Adam Curtis - The Trap

This is another great Adam Curtis documentary. This documentary covers how “spreading freedom and democracy” has been used as a pretext to spread war and oppression across the globe. It touches on the Rand Corporation, Game Theory, the Prisoner’s Dilemma, and how Cold War policy was shaped by these models of motivation and self interest. During and after the cold war, these techniques were let loose on the public.

It is telling that the one person most credited for developing this widely-accepted model of human behavior was a paranoid schizophrenic.

Strings and the puppeeteers that pull them

Off the top of my head on this dreary day, here are a few examples of strange strings in history and the people that pulled them.

Did you know the Treaty of Versailles was negotiated by teams led by the American Warburg and the German Warburg? It’s sort of like the days of old, when the king of this and that country, who were first cousins to each other, would “go to war” with each other. The kings are not in danger. The Warburgs were not in danger. Wars are fought by the masses.

I haven’t confirmed it through reading, but what’s also amazing is that there are supposedly records found by the Reece Commission in the Carnegie Institute from the early 1900s talking about how a World War could be ignited in the Balkans because of all the unrest there, but such action was deemed to be postponed until the Federal Reserve Act could be passed to pay for it. The Federal Reserve Act passed in 1913, and World War I started in 1914.

This treaty set the stage for World War II, Hitler, and everything that happened to the Jewish people of Germany. During this time, Max sold off his bank and divested from the IG Farben holding company out of legal necessity. After all, it would be unbecoming for a big-name Jewish banker to continue to profit (as IG Farben did) off the mass extermination of Jewish people. Notice that none of this means he suffered any hardship; when Warburg’s buddy John D. Rockefeller (also involved in IG Farben) was “made” by the government to break up Standard Oil, he made massive overnight profits by the skyrocketing shares he owned of each of these new oil companies. Anybody who has been paying attention has been watching these companies reconsolidate in the last couple of decades.

After his he made a killing by the split of his companies, and he was reeling from the fallout from the Ludlow Massacre, Rockefeller used his massive wealth in public relations and “philanthrophy” to clean up his family’s reputation. The Rockefeller family was also behind the refinancing of Japan after WWII and the transformation of that country into a technological powerhouse. SONY is not a word in their language; it is an acronym for Standard Oil of New York.

The Jewish “humanitarian” group, B’nai B’rith, was given its charter under the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. This is also true of the white “humanitarian” group known as Ku Klux Klan, which is why they have all these fancy degrees and rank names (Grand Dragon, etc). This would explain absurd situations like the ADL (Anti-Defamation League, chartered under B’nai B’rith) standing up for Scottish Rite leader and racist Klansman Albert Pike. The Anti-Defamation League is one chapter of what I personally call the Order of Accepted Thought Police.

In the ADL’s words, “there is no real evidence of Pike’s role in the Klan; and even if there is such evidence, the issue is not important.”‘ (emphasis mine)

There is a pyramid structure of companies, governments, religions, clubs and secret societies at work today, all working off different scripts towards the common goal of shepherding the whole world into this pyramid, by hook or by crook.

The Money Masters

Money, it’s a crime, share it fairly but dont take a slice of my pie
Money, so they say, is the root of all evil today
But if you ask for a raise it’s no surprise that they’re giving none away

Pink Floyd, “Money”

This film is about the history of money, which may sound dry, but I guarantee that it will keep you interested. It was made before September 11, but it is more relevant than ever in today’s world when our economy is transforming.

Beyond that, this film also traces the paths of the Bauers (also known as the Rothschilds) and their surrogates (Rockefellers, Morgans) throughout history, today the wealthiest family on the planet. The filmmaker argues against the gold standard, a popular solution to our current woes in the minds of many. He argues that the atrocity of our banking system is not fiat currency, but debt-based, fractional reserve banking, and the ability to create booms and depressions by expanding and shrinking the money supply. There is also an interesting discussion of the tally stick, a fiat currency in England that was perhaps one of the most stable and long-lasting forms of money, ever. Founding shares for the Bank of England were bought with tally sticks; once the bank had power, they began to push to abolish tally sticks altogether.

Another thing I like about this movie is that, without beating you over the head, he hints at the “hidden powers” which rule this whole system with the sly shots of pyramids and obelisks in the background.
